I've written a new #behavioural #research blog, about studies into ##obesity and #anxiety

A manifesto with 615 references shows what is wrong with #behavioural #science and offers suggestions on how to fix it.
The writing deteriorates after the first score pages or so.

The Manifesto identifies the lack of scientific rigor, the lack of accountability, and the lack of transparency as major issues in the field, and it offers suggestions for addressing these issues.
RT @tiinalikki: How can #publichealth authorities establish #behavioural and #cultural insights units and structures? Looking forward to reflecting on this topic at the @ECDC_EU summer school today! https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/352505 #BCI

According to the #NewStudy in both populations females were the best at catching prey. Female northern resident #orcas were also more efficient compared to males as they spent more time foraging. Tennessen says the southern resident orcas had “completely opposite behavior.” Males captured more prey and spent more time foraging compared to females.

Hi folks! 👋
I am Ranjith (he/him), a #CognitiveScience #researcher 🧠
Currently designing #experiments based on #behavioral #GameTheory at the #DataScience and #AI Lab, Department of #ComputerScience, New York University AbuDhabi #NYUAbuDhabi #NYUAD #UAE (remote contract).
Previously worked as a #Research Associate at the Department of #Neurology, National Institute of #MentalHealth and Neurosciences, #Neuroscience #NIMHANS #Bengaluru, where I investigated the role of #Bilingualism and #Education in delaying the onset of #dementia.
Prior to that, I was in the #Language and #Cognition Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, #IITKanpur #IITK #UttarPradesh, where I worked in the areas of #VisualPerception #Psycholinguistics (Visual Word Recognition).
I hold a Master's degree in Cognitive Science from the Centre of #Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences #CBCS, University of #Allahabad, #Prayagraj and a Bachelor's degree in #Electronics and #Communication #Engineering from Anna #University, Chennai, India.
Before receiving my master's degree, I was in the third cohort of International #Fellowship in #Health #Technology #Assessment #HTA at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, #IITMadras #IITM #Chennai.
I love #data, #theory, and bringing both together. I am interested in raising awareness of dementia. I also like to engage in #SystemsThinking and #DesignThinking to better understand #WickedProblems.
I am passionate about #equity, #diversity, #inclusion, and #SocialJustice.
I am #Indian 🇮🇳 by nationality, my family is from #TamilNadu, #India and I grew up speaking #Tamil at home. I am comfortable speaking in 🗣️ #Malayalam and #Hindi.
Excited to be here! ❤️
Nice to e-meet you everyone 👋

I find it fascinating how long #academic work takes to get published.
Take the Kendra Tully piece here:
It was published in Oct 2022 in #Behavioural Public #Policy.
But the original #research was published in 2019.
Maybe 3 years isn't a long time in #academic circles. For the rest of us, that feels like a lifetime, doesn't it?

Another promising avenue is to complement traditional #attachment #research (e.g., #behavioural #observation, interviews, #questionnaires, etc.) with objective neurobiological #data.
My @SoNeAtLab has suggested two functional #neuro-#anatomical models of human attachment - #NAMA & #NAMDA (https://pvrticka.com/attachment/nama_and_namda/) and thereby provides a #social #neuroscience perspective on attachment (https://pvrticka.com/attachment/attachment-theory-a-social-neuroscientists-perspective/).
Why is such an approach important? More information here: https://pvrticka.com/2022/08/17/why-attachment-matters-in-social-neuroscience/

@LauraKT @Highlandlass Glorious idea… I’m an exiled #Scot living on the borders of #Wales w my English wife, an elderly spaniel and a smallholding that’s currently home to too many sheep but shifting to a #regenerative #microdairy. #novelist, #podcaster, renegade #economist and #behavioural geek.

Hi #sciencemastadon , an introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic. This involves analysing their #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats
Recently, also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth
Below seal and #polarbear movie

A #Sydney #High_School #BANNED #MOBILE_PHONES. It had dramatic results.
#Davidson High School principal David Rule said there had been significant changes since students in years 7 to 10 were banned from using mobile phones at #school.
“#Classrooms have effectively become #phone_free and this has allowed staff to #focus on #educating students,” he said in a school newsletter. “Finally, in eight weeks of the policy, there has been a 90 #per_cent #reduction in #behavioural issues related to phones...”
“The pouch also allowed our staff to use them when necessary as an #explicit_teaching #tool for a particular lesson,” he said.

#ERCengage finalist Craig Morgan & team @KingsCollegeLon look into #adolescence as a critical period of #emotional & #behavioural development when most adult mental health problems first emerge.
